At the Collinear Apparatus for Laser Spectroscopy and Applied Physics (COALA) [1] in Darmstadt a new experimental approach was tested to perform collinear laser spectroscopy on boron atoms produced from a negative ion sputtering source.
An ion sputtering source produced negatively charged boron ions which where then guided into the COALA beamline. From this ion beam an atomic beam was created by photodetachement with a pulsed laser. Then, collinear laser spectroscopy was performed for the 2p 2P1/2 → 3s 2S1/2 and for the 2p 2P3/2 → 3s 2S1/2 transitions of 11B and on the the 2p 2P3/2 → 3s 2S1/2 transition of 10B. The resonance was only observed after implementing new diagnostic tools at COALA, namely a Wien filter and the generation of short ion pulses to perform time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometry. First results will be presented and the potential of this approach are discussed.
